Men and women eating in the courtyard

"Want one?"

"No, I'm quitting smoking."

Gao Zhen waved his hand and refused Li Xuewu's politeness. After getting in the car, he sat on the opposite side with his back to the scene.

He first looked at Li Xuewu, then smiled slightly and said, "I haven't seen you for a while, are you busy?"

“It’s okay, mainly because I travel a lot”

Li Xuewu smiled, blew out a puff of smoke, looked at Gao Zhen's face full of exhaustion, and said, "Seeing that your hair is getting grayer, you should pay attention to rest."

"Haha, I'm getting old~"

Gao Zhen tugged his hair and said with a smile: "Especially when I see more capable rising stars like you, I can't bear to accept old age."

"Look what you said, I am your soldier and I want to learn more from you."

Li Xuewu flicked the ashes of his cigarette, squinted slightly at the scene outside the window, and said, "Over there with Bureau Zheng..."

"Well, he is measured and has an old organization."

Gao Zhen turned his head and glanced behind him, and saw Zheng Fuhua walking quickly towards the shopping mall building. He nodded slowly and said, "Time is also fate."

"You know what?"

He turned his head, looked at Li Xuewu and said seriously: "Actually, there has been news from above that Lai Shanchuan is on the list of candidates to be promoted after the year and will go to Xicheng."

"Deputy bureau?"

Li Xuewu took a puff of cigarette, paused, and then puffed out smoke from his nostrils.

Gao Zhen nodded, sighed, and said: "He is in charge of safety work. The superiors are very optimistic about his ability and he is a good manager. It's a pity~"

With a sigh, the car fell silent, leaving only the shouts and orders coming from outside the car from time to time.

Lai Shanchuan did not harm the guard, but only cuffed his hands and feet.

The situation inside the Mingdelou Restaurant was a bit tragic. Those kiddies were in a state of excitement, and the tension and danger stimulated them to make wrong choices.

Someone was about to detonate explosives stored in the basement on the first floor, but was blinded by a flash bomb thrown through the door.

People will have some stress reactions at the moment of blindness, mainly to protect themselves.

But in this environment, what can they do with guns in their hands?

Unable to aim and shoot randomly, they were naturally shot to death by the special agents who rushed through the door immediately.

Everything that is uncontrolled is dangerous, not just actions but thoughts.

The special agents who rush into the first floor do not need to rush upstairs, because someone will break through on each floor at the moment the attack signal is launched.

I have to admit that these young people do have the fighting skills inherited from their fathers, but it depends on who they compare with.

Debris blocked the door, but the windows above the second floor were not taken care of. The special forces team members who rushed in were like catching chickens and easily eliminated everyone.

Of course, those few who are good at marksmanship are quite difficult to deal with, but without hostages and without the threat of light or heavy firepower, if they dare to shoot, they dare to throw mines.

With bulletproof shields and tear gas, everyone has to surrender when God comes.

The ambulance replaced the prairie tiger and stopped at the door of the building. From time to time, stretchers were carried out. The searchlights were turned off, and the people on the stretchers did not know whether they were alive or dead.

Don’t ask why the searchlights went out at this time, let alone why the cleanup work at the scene was kept in darkness.

After seven or eight stretchers came out, the young people came out with their hands cuffed behind their backs and escorted by special agents.

Want to know who's in here?

No, I don’t know. No one knows who is on the stretcher, and no one knows who is being escorted out.

The parents who were standing outside waiting for news couldn't get in, and it was useless to use the telescope to observe.

They arrived too late, or Gao Zhen never thought of spending part of his time looking for the parents of these young people to persuade them to surrender.

These parents were so anxious that it was useless. They just looked for connections to see who dared to take the initiative to get involved.

Gao Zhen showed no mercy at all, and all the young people involved in this case had to be punished.

Even if most of the people Lai Yide gathered were second-generation people within the system, it would not work. They would not be able to teach their children well and would affect their parents. This is a problem they themselves created.

To implement orders and requirements to quickly restore order to the lives of surrounding residents, all criminals had their back clothes turned off and their heads tied before they came out, making it impossible to tell who was who.

After coming out, they went straight to the cloth truck waiting at the door. There were about seven or eight people there, so there weren't really many people resisting in the building.

After the special agent completed the task, he handed over the scene to the comrades of the branch and the confidentiality department. The team quickly assembled, packed up the equipment, and then boarded the prairie tiger waiting on the roadside.

Pazile came over to report on his work. After hearing this, Li Xuewu glanced at Gao Zhen. Seeing that he only said thank you for his hard work and said nothing more, he jumped out of the car and said a few words to him.

Mainly to explain the disciplinary issues and the psychological issues of the special service personnel who fired the gun.

There is no need to emphasize too much on confidentiality discipline. As long as such a task is completed, the team members performing the task will definitely be organized to learn the confidentiality regulations.

Li Xuewu particularly emphasized psychological counseling, which was not yet complete at this time.

Appropriate entertainment and exercise can alleviate this stress response and relieve the stress caused by action.

Of course, Pazile is an expert on these issues and knows very well that he still has work to do after he returns home tonight.

The action report will be written tonight, and will be handed over by Pazile to the main management office of the Third Wei Regiment, and then the two departments will coordinate it.

After explaining to Pazile, he patted his arm and indicated that he could lead the team back.

The mission was successfully completed without any casualties. It can be said to be perfect.

Combat losses will be reflected in the action report, and the specific coordination work should be handed over to the Zhengzhi Office.

Li Xuewu is not in charge of command today, he has not been on the front line for a long time.

Especially for this kind of small-scale combat operation, if he really intervenes, it will be a joke.

Zheng Fuhua asked him to come because he didn't want Li Xuewu to work in vain, and he didn't want to use the Wei San Regiment through Li Xuewu.

The coordination and arrangement work between the scene and the Wei San Regiment was completed by Li Xuewu. It looks simple, but it is not difficult.

Of course, no matter how you look at this score, for this kind of small-scale operation, Li Xuewu, who fully understands the actual situation of the special service team, the on-site investigation and arrangement is not that difficult.

Let the cadres in charge of the action in the branch to coordinate can also do it, but it is not as convenient as Li Xuewu.

I don't know if Zheng Fuhua has communicated with Gao Zhen about this arrangement. The few words Gao Zhen said in the car also seemed to be meaningful.

Li Xuewu didn't take it up. He didn't want to get anything from this case, nor did he want to pay anything.

Watching the car of the Wei San Regiment leave with the escort truck, Li Xuewu stood under the car and blew the cold wind to cheer himself up.

The people in the branch are busy. They have to archive the traces of the battle in the building before dawn.

The archiving work has been carried out, which means that everything that happened here before dawn will be cleared to the greatest extent.

After tomorrow, Mingde Building may be demolished or reallocated to other units.

But it will continue to be preserved in a closed state for the time being, and its story tonight can only exist in the legend of the market.

I didn't listen to Gao Zhen's arrangement of the finishing work in the command car, and I didn't pay attention to who the order was conveyed to.

Li Xuewu looked at the rooftop where Lai Shanchuan died and let out a long breath. It really fulfilled the words the other party asked him at the beginning.

Recalling that the investigation of the case was deadlocked that day, Lai Shanchuan sat on a bench in the branch hall and asked him what he thought of himself.

Li Xuewu did not answer the other party's question because he had guessed the correct answer in his heart.

He is not a good policeman, let alone a good father.

"Have the comrades from the Third Regiment left?"

Zheng Fuhua walked back from the scene with a strange sense of relief on his face.

Li Xuewu looked at him, did not answer, just pursed his lips and shook his head.

"I haven't had time to say thank you yet."

Zheng Fuhua turned back to look at Mingdelou Restaurant and the shopping mall next to it, turned back to Li Xuewu and nodded, saying: "Thank them for their hard work for me."

"Okay"

Li Xuewu took the cigarette butt from his mouth and threw it on the ground, stomped it out, shrugged his shoulders and asked: "If there is nothing else..."

"I will leave the scene and other coordination issues to you, and we will meet at the branch tomorrow morning"

Gao Zhen got out of the car, explained to Zheng Fuhua, then raised his hands and said helplessly: "The leader is in the discipline inspection, I will go first."

"I'll go"

Zheng Fuhua frowned slightly and said: "I have always been in charge of this case, it is more appropriate for me to go."

"Forget it, it's not a meritorious award, what's the point of fighting?"

Gao Zhen looked at Li Xuewu and nodded slightly, patted Zheng Fuhua's arm and smiled: "This case is a bummer for the branch, you can't handle it, this time I have to do it."

After saying that, he raised his hand to indicate the scene that was still busy, and said: "The rest is up to you, hard work."

He shook hands with Zheng Fuhua, and then shook hands with Li Xuewu, then turned around and got on the car that drove over and left.

"What?"

Zheng Fuhua watched Gao Zhen's car leave, turned around and asked Li Xuewu: "Are you going to the branch with me, or..."

"It's too late, there's nothing to do at the discipline inspection, I'll go back"

Li Xuewu saw Yu Daru gestured to him from a distance, asking him to wait.

He quickly said a few words to Zheng Fuhua, waved to Han Jiankun, got in the car and ran away.

At this time, what good things can Yu Daru find him for? He really thought that grandson was going to treat him to a midnight snack.

Even if he was really invited, he would not eat, because he could not afford it!

The command vehicle drove out of the scene, slowed down slightly when passing the cordon, and gradually accelerated after passing the crowd.

Li Xuewu looked at his watch with the help of the street lamp outside the window. It was almost one o'clock.

Time flies very fast when you are busy. It was just twelve o'clock, and it was one o'clock in the time it took to smoke a cigarette and talk a few words.

It was like the time when a beautiful girl sat in a private room of a shopping mall singing and interacting. A few songs, a few words, time passed really fast!

Of course, not everything is worth reminiscing about because time passes quickly. No girl held Li Xuewu's arm and sent him to the stairs, and he did not want the new ghost in the building to send him to the intersection.

——

"Leader, shall we go home?"

"No"

It is impossible to go home. It's this time. If you go home, no one will want to sleep.

Li Xuewu glanced at the intersection, asked Han Jiankun to take him to the entrance of the club, told him to pick him up tomorrow morning, and jumped off the jeep.

Watching the command car leave, Li Xuewu turned and walked into the alley. The club did have a place to stay, but it was not appropriate to wake up a bunch of people in the middle of the night.

So he walked for more than ten minutes and arrived at the house of Tong Huimei and Jin Jiaojiao.

Of course, it was not appropriate to wake up Tong Huimei and Jin Jiaojiao, but if you don't need to sleep after waking up, but do something loving, it won't be a loss, right?

"Ah! Who?!"

When Li Xuewu jumped over the wall into the yard and knocked on the door of the main house, Tong Huimei and Jin Jiaojiao were really scared.

Fearing that the two would overreact and cause unnecessary misunderstandings, Li Xuewu quickly said that it was himself.

Hearing that it was Li Xuewu's voice, Jin Jiaojiao was still a little unconvinced. She turned on the light in the house, leaned on the glass window and looked carefully, and then ran out to open the door for him.

"You are really good, why do you come at this time~"

Jin Jiaojiao pouted her little mouth, stroking her not-so-small chest angrily, and said angrily: "You scared us to death~"

"I just finished a mission nearby, and I was too lazy to go home, so I asked you to stay overnight"

Li Xuewu smiled, took off his cotton hat and went into the house.

Tong Huimei came out in pajamas and a cotton jacket, and asked sleepily: "Are you hungry? I'll prepare food for you."

"Forget it, what time is it? Let's talk about it tomorrow morning."

Li Xuewu tapped his watch, pointed to the inner room, and said, "Hurry up and lie down. I'll wash my face."

"You scared me awake~"

Jin Jiaojiao snorted at him, bent down to pick up the thermos, took off the stopper and tested the water temperature, saying, "Okay, it's just right. There's no need to add cold water."

She poured the warm water in the thermos into the washbasin at the door, still mumbling about Li Xuewu's sudden visit.

Tong Huimei scolded her, blaming her for talking too much, put on her cotton jacket, pointed to the door and said, "I'll make you some noodles. Just dip it in the water. Wait."

As she spoke, she had already changed into cotton shoes and went out. Li Xuewu told her to just say that it would be ready soon.

He came here to sleep in the middle of the night, and he said he was on a mission. He must have been busy all the time. Tong Huimei couldn't bear to let him go hungry.

There is one bad thing about living in a courtyard house, that is, it is not very convenient in winter.

The house and the kitchen are not in the same place, especially in such a large courtyard, if you want to make a fire and cook, you have to go to the kitchen.

In fact, if the two of them live in such a large courtyard, they should move the kitchen to the upper house for convenience.

But if it were someone else, they might have done it long ago, but for the two girls, it would be better for them to move to the kitchen themselves than to move the kitchen.

Jin Jiaojiao giggled at Li Xuewu's duck-like face washing method, and picked up the thermos on the ground and added some hot water to the basin.

"It's enough, just wash your face"

"Take off your clothes, help you wipe it"

Jin Jiaojiao ignored Li Xuewu's words, picked up a dry towel hanging on the shelf and handed one to Li Xuewu, and threw the other into the hot water basin.

Li Xuewu saw that she took the initiative to help, smiled and took off his coat and sweater, and took off his shirt and pants with the help of Jin Jiaojiao.

"You are already a senior official, why do you have to carry out missions in the middle of the night~"

Jin Jiaojiao found a set of dark cotton pajamas from the cabinet in the inner room and put them on the table.

Li Xuewu took a look and asked, "Is it mine?"

"What else?"

Jin Jiaojiao pulled the corner of her mouth and said, "My sister did it because she said you always come naked and it's easy to catch a cold."

"Well, your sister is sensible and caring."

Li Xuewu nodded and said deliberately, "Girls like this are rare and lovable."

"You mean I'm ignorant?"

Jin Jiaojiao pouted her lips, bent down and pulled Li Xuewu's socks off, and said angrily: "I have to help you wipe your body!"

"I'm over-interpreting it, I just said your sister"

Li Xuewu smiled and tapped her nose, saying: "All good, all are popular~"

"I don't believe you~"

Jin Jiaojiao pouted her lips, twisted a hot towel and came to help Li Xuewu wipe his back and front.

"Are you going on a business trip recently?"

"Not necessarily, what's wrong?"

Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows, glanced at her, and asked: "Is there something?"

"It's about becoming a disciple, and we can't make up our minds"

Jin Jiaojiao changed a basin of hot water, helped Li Xuewu wipe his body, put on pajamas, and then filled hot water to help him soak his feet.

At this time, Tong Huimei also brought a bowl of hot noodles into the house, and asked Li Xuewu to eat it while it was hot.

"We don't know how to roll noodles by hand. This is the noodles you brought last time."

Tong Huimei pointed to the bowl of noodles and introduced: "I put some canned meat in it. It's hot and fragrant."

"It's just a little greasy."

Li Xuewu smiled and commented: "Is it so good to eat so late at night?"

"This is all we have."

Tong Huimei smiled a little embarrassedly, and then explained: "Jiaojiao and I found the location of the vegetable market, so we can buy vegetables and cook by ourselves."

"Okay, just pay attention to safety."

Li Xuewu took the bowl of noodles and started eating. He was busy until the second half of the night, and his stomach was indeed a little empty.

According to his habit, he would not eat supper after dinner, but it was hard to refuse the hospitality.

While scalding his feet and eating hot soup noodles, his feet felt comfortable, his stomach felt comfortable, and his whole body felt comfortable.

"That..."

Tong Huimei added some more coal to the stove in the main room, looked at Li Xuewu hesitantly and said: "I didn't mean to disturb your work when I called you last time..."

"It's okay, you can call me if you have something to do"

Li Xuewu looked up at her and said: "I left you my phone number so that you can find me if you have something to do."

"Got it"

Tong Huimei smiled brightly, and the tension and anxiety of the past few days were swept away. The pressure on her body was suddenly released, and she felt much more relaxed.

"I just asked Brother Wu about becoming his apprentice"

Jin Jiaojiao came out from the inner room and said to her: "The case is not over yet, so you should wait a while."

"At least it will be after the new year."

Li Xuewu took a few sips of noodle soup, put down the bowl of rice, breathed a long sigh of relief, pursed his lips, looked at Tong Huimei and said, "I'll ask someone here too."

"Okay, that's how it should be"

Tong Huimei put away her job and explained: "I'm not in a hurry. Mr. Ma has just left, so it's not suitable to talk about becoming a disciple."

"Well, you're right to think so."

Li Xuewu nodded and said, "The main reason for asking someone is to see what their character is like. Don't be in a hurry."

"knew"

Tong Huimei smiled, then calmed down her emotions, looked at Li Xuewu seriously and asked: "Mr. Ma, do we want to show our filial piety?"

"Are you keeping filial piety?"

Li Xuewu frowned and said, "It's better to go too far than it is to go as far as you can. It's up to you."

After thinking about it, he added: "Please help Mr. Mai, communicate with Mr. Ma's family, and see what time is convenient, okay?"

"Well, it's up to you."

Tong Huimei nodded and said: "We are struggling with this matter. Mr. Mai said that Mr. Ma's funeral will be kept simple and there will be no memorial service."

"The impact is not very good, but they are thinking about the right thing."

Li Xuewu nodded, looked at her and asked, "Does Mr. Ma have any more instructions for you?"

"That's it... I just gave each of us a piece of jade as a gift of acknowledgment, and asked us to learn from the master."

Tong Huimei explained: "Mr. Ma was already in the hospital at that time, and the gift was verbally agreed upon when we recognized each other, and was later forwarded to us by Mr. Mai."

“Then look everywhere”

Li Xuewu raised his feet, wiped them with Jin Jiaojiao, put on the slippers that the other party brought, and said: "You guys have to make a living in this industry after all. If it's inconvenient now, it doesn't mean it won't be inconvenient in the future."

"Art will always have its value in the world. The status of Peking Opera as the quintessence of China will not change. The identity of an artist is limited to individuals and will not last long."

After explaining to them, Li Xuewu didn't say any more. He stood up and walked to the back room, saying as he walked: "Mr. Ma's family members want to be close to each other, so you can treat him as one more relative."

"If the other party is unwilling"

After putting on his slippers and sitting on the bed, Li Xuewu shrugged his shoulders and said, "You can just burn some paper money on the 15th day of the Qingming Festival. You may get injured if you rush."

"I said so too~"

Jin Jiaojiao cleaned up the hall and chirped: "Sister is afraid of being too polite and also afraid of being rude. She is always worried about it."

"I'm not afraid of causing trouble to Brother Wu~"

Tong Huimei washed her hands and walked into the back room, explaining: "Who are we? If people recognize us, it's not because of Brother Wu."

"I didn't say anything else"

Jin Jiaojiao then washed her hands, wiped them with a towel, and entered the room. She looked at Tong Huimei who was going to bed and said, "I see that you have been worried these past few days. It's just not worth it."

"Oh~ you still don't know about me?"

Tong Huimei got into bed, lay down on Li Xuewu's side, sighed slightly, and said: "There is something in my heart that I can't rest on, and I have to think about it randomly."

"You still know~"

Jin Jiaojiao pouted, turned on the bedside table lamp, and turned off the fluorescent lamp on the roof.

He took off the cotton-padded jacket over his pajamas, walked into the canopy bed, took off his embroidered slippers and got into the bed, and lay down on the other side of Li Xuewu.

"If Brother Wu hadn't come over today, I'm afraid you wouldn't have been able to sleep well and keep talking about this."

“It won’t happen”

Li Xuewu hugged Tong Huimei, who was coming over to rest her head, patted her shoulder and said, "Live a good life and don't have so many worries."

"As for favors, feelings will only develop if someone is willing to date you, right?"

With that said, Li Xuewu put his other hand around Jin Jiaojiao, who was also leaning against him.

"They want to be wary of me, but they decided to take on a disciple after seeing you, right?"

"Without this strength, will he accept whoever I tell him to accept?"

"Not to mention whether I have this influence or not, I only asked Mr. Ma to accept you as adopted daughters before he died, and asked Mr. Xun to accept you as his disciples. This is a love for talents. Don't let it down."

"Oh, I see"

Tong Huimei raised her head and looked at Li Xuewu with some embarrassment and said: "I'm so stupid, I always can't understand the meaning of your words."

"Not only stupid, but also stubborn"

Jin Jiaojiao twisted her body and lay on Li Xuewu's chest, and said to Tong Huimei on the other side: "You don't believe me no matter what I say, you are so stubborn."

"Yes~yes~yes~"

Tong Huimei raised her hand and tapped Jin Jiaojiao's nose, saying: "You are the only one who is smart, and you are the only one who is clever."

"Yeah~ I'm going to be shabby again, aren't I~"

Jin Jiaojiao was arguing with Tong Huimei through Li Xuewu. Not only did she hit someone with the ball, she even refused to make it clear.

The two of them regarded Li Xuewu as the boundary between Chu, He and Han. You and I would definitely move forward what Li Xuewu originally planned to do when he got up in the morning.

"Don't turn off the lights!"

How rich can a sentimental person be in expressing "love"?

Huang Weiwen: Please give me more advice for the rest of my life.

Wong Kar-Wai: At that moment, I was very warm.

Natsume Soseki: The moonlight is so beautiful tonight.

Zhang Ailing: How dare I grow old if you don’t come?

Fang Wenshan: The sky is blue waiting for misty rain, and I am waiting for you.

Wang Xiaobo: Hello, Li Yinhe, I’m so glad to see you.

Lin Xi: You are the gift I have been waiting for half my life to open.

And you, will you be like Li Xuewu, who said with a wicked smile: "Turn on the light, let me see..."

——

"Leader, regarding the work transferred from the External Affairs Office, Italian businessman Andrew asked you to discuss the shipyard."

Peng Xiaoli sorted out the documents on the table while reporting Li Xuewu's schedule for today.

"The Personnel Department reported the implementation plan for the next round of recruitment of workers. After the Management Committee Office reported it to Director Li, it was transferred to you."

"Why was it transferred to me?"

Li Xuewu was drinking tea and looking at the briefing in his hand. He wasted half a day and the work in his hands suddenly increased.

It was mainly a problem of energy. He didn't have a rest yesterday. It was almost dawn after he dealt with the two women at night.

He had breakfast at around nine o'clock and arrived at the office at eleven o'clock.

No one asked him why he was late, and no one asked him why he didn't attend the welcome dinner yesterday.

Anyone with a little insight knows that Director Li is very angry now, so it's best not to provoke Deputy Director Li.

The only person who can appease Director Li is Deputy Director Li. If you really provoke Deputy Director Li, the fuse of the steel mill will be broken.

Peng Xiaoli's report was interrupted, and he quickly explained: "Director Li has other things to do today, so he asked the Commission Office to transfer it to me."

Li Xuewu scratched his eyebrows helplessly, said nothing more, and nodded to signal him to continue.

"The budget review work for the Workers' New Village next year has begun. The Finance Department has set up a special accounting group, ready to report to the Economic and Trade Office at any time."

"The production plan and trade of the three industries of the United..."

...

There are more and more tasks on Li Xuewu's desk. In the past, there were only the Security Department, and later it was expanded to the Security Group.

Now, there are also the Technology Office, the Economic and Trade Office, etc. He has been appointed as the deputy director of many temporary leadership group offices.

In particular, the deputy director of the Management Committee Office has the most work, and the coordination is all the leaders have already annotated to ask him to read, or handed over to him to execute.

The only one who can directly throw the work to Li Xuewu is Li Huaide, but transferring business-related work to Li Xuewu is something that all deputy directors can do.

Some work is also pushed back by Li Xuewu, or directly pressed down from the Management Committee Office and directly implemented in a certain department.

His current identity is a bit complicated. People who come to his office to report work are not just people from the Security Department, but even deputy directors from other departments.

He is already so busy, do you think anyone would dare to bother him?

"Director Li, how can you run so fast!"

Peng Xiaoli's report was interrupted again. This time it was not Li Xuewu, but Yu Daru who appeared at the door.

What can he do? He can only look at Li Xuewu and ask if he can make a cup of the best tea for him.

"Appoint the meeting time for negotiation at 9 o'clock next Monday morning, and the venue will be arranged at the International Hotel. Inform them to prepare"

Li Xuewu explained: "The personnel recruitment plan will wait for Deputy Director Gu's opinion first. You should coordinate this with the Commission Office."

"For the Workers' New Village budget meeting, please coordinate with the Commission Office to see when Director Li and Deputy Director Jing are available. The resolution still needs to be brought to the meeting. Ask for their opinions first."

...

"So busy~"

Yu Daru came into the room and greeted him. Seeing that Li Xuewu ignored him, he had to sit on the sofa and light a cigarette and wait.

It was not until Li Xuewu and Peng Xiaoli had completed all the work that he greeted him for no reason.

Li Xuewu glanced at him and said, "I can be relaxed without you coming."

"I am so wronged~"

Yu Daru stood up, walked to the opposite side of Li Xuewu's desk and sat down, complaining, "I really don't know..."

"Well, go on."

Li Xuewu picked up the newspaper on the table and shook it open to show him the title on it.

Yu Daru shut up after seeing the newspaper, embarrassed and not knowing how to continue.

There are indeed a few important news recently, such as Mr. Ma's death, the world's first artificial synthesis of crystalline insulin, and the first flight test of the medium-range rocket developed by the company was basically successful, etc.

What Li Xuewu and other cadres are most concerned about is that the two above have been dismissed from their posts.

No one knows how big the risk is, and whether the case last night is involved.

Li Xuewu will not take the initiative to investigate, let alone make random associations. He has tried his best to avoid these.

Of course, he knows that there will be such a thing, but who can remember the exact time of occurrence.

The confidentiality department is definitely one of them who can predict the exact time in advance, because they have too many ears.

"How do you want me to explain it to you~"

Yu Daru scratched his head in some embarrassment and said, "In fact, at the beginning, I didn't think that this case would involve so much, so wide, and that thing."

Li Xuewu looked at him, put down the newspaper in his hand, ignored his explanation, and continued to read the documents in his hand.

Yu Daru scratched his head and tried to think of reasons, but after thinking about it, no matter which direction he thought about, he couldn't deceive Li Xuewu who was sitting opposite him.

So he could only confess helplessly: "It was later, the leader told me that, well, the case might be problematic, I really didn't think too much about it at the time, really."

"I also found that Du Xiaoyan's financial problems had a big loophole, especially the 50,000 yuan that didn't match the account, so I thought there was another reason for the matter."

Yu Daru looked at Li Xuewu who was unmoved by his explanation, and slumped his shoulders a little discouraged, nodded, and said: "Okay, okay, I admit that I am a piece of shit, and I didn't have good intentions, okay!"

"I can promise you one thing!"

When he saw Li Xuewu raised his head, Yu Daru said seriously: "I never meant to hurt you! Really!"

"Then thank you?"

Li Xuewu looked him up and down, and said with a fake smile: "You are a very nice person!"

"Don't make fun of me, if I didn't know that you are very skilled and have a strong punch, I would have asked you to hit me twice to vent my anger."

Yu Daru nodded ashamedly and said: "I owe you this time, I will definitely pay you back in the future, really, I keep my word."

"So what?"

Li Xuewu narrowed his eyes and looked at the opposite side, and asked: "You want to take over Lai Shanchuan's position?"

"Stop it, how is it possible?"

Yu Daru waved his hand and said with a dry laugh: "It's not possible to jump from a regular section chief to a regular director anywhere."

"But..."

He hesitated for a moment, then looked at Li Xuewu a little embarrassedly, and said softly: "Deputy is not bad."

"It's still okay?"

Li Xuewu looked at him with amusement and asked, "Do you want me to talk to Director Zheng and let him give you his?"

"Okay, just say a few words~"

Yu Daru was embarrassed by Li Xuewu's sarcasm. He lowered his head and said helplessly, "I'm already thirty years old. If I don't jump out, I won't be able to make progress in this life."

"Well, am I blocking you?"

Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows and asked with narrowed eyes, "Who told you to come to me at that time? Your stupid leader?"

"Don't be angry, don't be angry, it won't be that serious."

Yu Daru saw that Li Xuewu was about to get angry, and quickly persuaded him, "It's my eagerness to make progress, and I'm sorry for you. You are a generous man, so you can give me a meal and help me, okay?"

Li Xuewu looked at him with a cold face and said, "Go back and tell your leader to find a place to store your trains quickly. We don't have any place here."

After that, he ignored Yu Daru and lowered his head to read the documents again.

Yu Daru saw that Li Xuewu was serious, so he begged for help and said good things to Li Xuewu.

What he did was really not authentic. If anyone knew about it, they would scold him.

The branch office had Li Xuewu's relationship, and Li Xuewu was the first to intervene in the case, especially Zheng Fuhua. Li Xuewu specifically mentioned Yu Daru.

He agreed to help him contact Xiang Yunnian only after he made a guarantee and communicated with Zheng Fuhua.

Xiang Yunnian was quite honest. He knew that this case was a trap set by Li Xuewu. He might have planned it long ago.

Now someone has crossed the line, and he has to start early, which is of course beneficial to him. If it is big, it will naturally benefit him.

But for Li Xuewu, not only will it damage his personal connections in the branch office, but it may also make wedding clothes for others.

He didn't know what arrangements Yu Daru had made. Anyway, he asked Li Xuewu's request very clearly. As long as he could do it, he would agree to it.

He had picked up such a big bargain. If he didn't take the initiative and show it again, he wouldn't think about taking a flight from Li Xuewu next time.

When Li Xuewu clearly said that he didn't want anything and had no requirements, Xiang Yunnian was straightforward and understood Li Xuewu's meaning very well.

Lei got up early and got anxious. It was not the fruit that Li Xuewu wanted, so he would rather give it up than eat half-cooked rice.

Li Xuewu could refuse it, but he couldn't refuse to give it. This is called human nature.

Yu Daru was too happy. He only saw that the case was big and the fruit was ripe. When their leader instigated him, he was so angry that he bit it.

He called Li Xuewu last night, but Li Xuewu ignored him and left. He was surprised and his feet were cold at the back of his head.

He found a sheltered place to light a cigarette and thought carefully about the case. He realized that he had taken the initiative to come to the door, which was tantamount to stealing peaches.

He only remembered what the leader said, that the confidentiality system was too simple and fragile, and if he wanted to make rapid progress, he had to jump left and right.

If he could jump to the branch, it would be the best, especially with credit, and then return to the confidentiality or go to other systems, which would be the best springboard.

His desire for progress over the years made him ignore the change in Li Xuewu's attitude when he heard about the case.

He didn't even notice that he was investigating in the direction pointed out by Li Xuewu. The result of the truth was probably expected by Li Xuewu.

Stealing credit is a taboo in any unit, especially in their front-line departments. This is the most despised thing.

If brothers help each other, support each other, and take the initiative to give in, it would be easy to say, but he knew very well that his relationship with Li Xuewu was not that close.

At least not as good as Xiang Yunnian and Li Xuewu, which can be seen from the attitude of the two people's conversation when they were handling the case last night.

At that time, he thought that Li Xuewu's slight alienation and indifference to him was due to the difference in status. The case was over last night, and the cold wind blew, and his mind became clear.

He was busy all night, and he had to take time off at noon. He had to come to Li Xuewu to apologize.

At that time, he didn't know, and it was okay if he couldn't figure it out. At most, he would be scolded as a fool.

But if he got the benefit and still pretended not to understand, he would be a real grandson.

He was only 30 years old, of course he couldn't stay in that deputy director position for his whole life. Now he was looking anxiously, what about five years later?

Li Xuewu's arrangement in the branch is definitely not that simple. This can be seen from the evaluation of him by the branch leaders and the respectful attitude of the staff when he returned to the branch for a meeting.

The leader of the confidentiality department asked him to do it for his own good, but he also had his own thoughts that could not be said clearly.

From the incidents that happened in the past two days, it can be seen that who knows if anyone is deliberately pushing this case.

He is a small figure, and the deputy director in front of him is very good, and he has longed for it.

But is there a fishing rod supporting it from the darkness in a higher and more mysterious position, and the bait hanging on the fishing line is this deputy director.

He dare not think about it any further. The old leader and the old relationship must be appreciated, and the new unit and the new relationship must be maintained.

Especially on Li Xuewu's side, he felt guilty and dared not destroy the unit's financial resources.

"Director Li? Brother Li!"

Yu Daru leaned forward and pleaded with Li Xuewu in a low voice: "You are making a fortune with that car, but it is just a pile of scrap metal in ours. What ability and qualifications do I have to take the car back?"

He lowered his voice and took the initiative to say: "From now on, I will be your younger brother and you will be my older brother! You say something, if I have a..."
